ICE CUBE: Son Lands Biopic Role

2 years ago

Did any other actors even have a chance? Word is that Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson Junior has been slated to star as the legendary rapper in the upcoming NWA movie Straight Outta Compton.

According to the The Wrap, multiple sources say that director F. Gary Gray recently made the decision, though Cube had reportedly been pushing for his son to get the role for some time.

Jackson Junior isn't the only NWA offspring looking for a little nepotism. Word is that Eazy-E's son Lil' Eazy E has also been pushing to play his father in the pic. But The Wrap reports that producers are set to give the role to an unknown actor instead.

I originally grew up in Southern California but Fresno quickly started to feel like home to me after moving here to go to school. It was during my days at Reedley Community College where I landed an internship with B95 that eventually turned into me doing mid-days and The Juice Crew Morning Show! Growing up, my dad always told us that music can take you to a better place. Although he was talking about Latin music, I felt the same about Hip-Hop and R&B. My advice to listeners is this: Stay up, stay positive, and remember that if you want to be successful, you have to put yourself out there!
